| Question: | My doctor says I have too much fat in my blood. What foods should I avoid with a low-cholesterol diet? |
| Answer: | Foods that are high in cholesterol include:—
—All dairy products including foods that are made with dairy products such as
cream cakes and ice-cream (skim milk, cottage cheese and low-fat yoghurt are
allowed).
—Eggs (egg white allowed).
—All fatty meats (eg. sausages, luncheon meat, corned beef, offal, game, goose).
— Shellfish and caviar.
It is important to keep your cholesterol levels reasonably low. If they remain too high, fat may deposit inside the arteries causing heart attacks and strokes. If diet alone does not keep the cholesterol level reasonable, medications may be required.
